Hello everyone,
our holiday to Cairns seems so long ago! The weather was perfect, no rain until the last day, and 26 degrees- warm enough for the kids to swim! Wow what a week. My hubby was VERY impressed with my organisation! (Thanks thermo family!)
Train up to Kuranda and Skyrail back stopping at each of the stations. The guide at one of the stations was so informative and loved telling the kids about the rainforest! Passions of paradise was AWESOME! We had the only children on the cat, Ben had the patience of a saint and took my 7 and 9 year old snorkelling while the elder daughter and I went off ourselves. The scuba dive was AMAZING!! The coral and sealife is something else- Mother Nature at her best! We went jungle Surfing at Cape Tribulation- A MUST DO!! Upside down on a cable through the rain forest Loved that one! Huge hit with everyone, even the DH scared f heights! Waterfall circuit was sensational, though DS and I christened the hire car Cairns markets on Saturday morning good, Port Douglas markets a little too busy for me! Mossman gorge was stunning and the walk well worth it.
Wow, we had such a great time. We stayed at Palm Cove, in a self contained apartment overlooking the golf course. Simply beautiful and an easy stroll to the beach and cafe strip. Thanks again everyone. Quirky Jo, thanks for the invite, we were so busy though and I think it best for DH to keep things simple!!
